Chapter 1535 Got Hurt (1/2)

Ethan observed his surroundings and noticed that there still weren't that many people around. The airport was almost empty. 'Something isn't right, ' he thought to himself. He couldn't shake off the ominous feeling. He could excuse the fact that there were only a few people when they had arrived, because it was too early back then. However, they were now about to board the plane, but most of the passengers were still nowhere to be found. It was odd.

While he was lost in thought, Estelle nudged him with her elbow and said, ”It's time for us to go.”

With a blink, Ethan came back to reality. He followed her and held his phone tightly in his hand as if his life depended on it.

The two of them marched forward while talking and laughing with each other. However, Ethan still felt uncomfortable. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he knew there was something wrong.

As soon as they rounded a corner, four men appeared from the other side. They looked strong and muscular.

While they were walking, Ethan raised his head and accidentally met their overwhelming gaze. He immediately lowered his head and glanced at his phone. Instinctively, he took a step to the side and pulled Estelle behind him.

Shocked and confused, Estelle was slow to comprehend what was happening. Before she could open her mouth to ask, the four men suddenly sprinted towards them and tried to punch Ethan.

Thankfully, Ethan was quick to react. He immediately pushed Estelle back and bent down to dodge the punch. The sudden force of being pushed back almost made Estelle lose her balance. She was able to stop herself from falling on the ground just in time.

Ethan was about to take out his cellphone to make a phone call, but the four strong men pounced at him again like predators hunting their prey. Knowing that he had to act swiftly, Ethan took his backpack off and threw it at the four men, but they skillfully dodged.

One of the men jumped at Ethan and threw another punch. Soon enough, the two of them were wrestling with each other.

At that moment, the sound of Ethan's phone dropping echoed all over the airport corridor. Due to the unexpected ambush, he didn't have much time to think about anything else. These men looked familiar to Ethan and he knew exactly who had sent them to attack him.

On the other side, Shane and Marc were casually drinking together. And even though they were drinking for pleasure, Shane just wasn't in the mood.

When he noticed Shane's somber face, Marc looked at him and comforted him with a pat on the shoulder. ”Don't worry, Shane. Our boss said that he would call and inform us of his safe arrival, right?” he murmured gently. Then, he poured a glass of beer and handed it to Shane.

Shane glanced at him with a blank expression, but didn't say anything. He doubted that Bill would just stand by and do nothing.
